The Balangir Vikash Parishad organised a district-level impact and experience sharing talk relating to the EU-Programme Information Project here on Saturday.
Projet Director Achyut Das spoke about the project, its aim and objective and achievement so far. District Collector Arindam Dakua appreciated the steps taken by the project in strengthening the rural-level institutions and providing necessary information to people. He also stressed on the need to ensure proper functioning of Anganwadi centres to build a healthy village and a society as well.
The proper functioning would reduce malnutrition of children and anaemia in women and adolescent girls, he added. Mukund Sahu and lawyer Bishnu Sharma, among others, spoke about the change in migration scenario of the district over the years.
Later participants shared their experiences of getting benefits by utilising the information and different provisions of the RTI Act.
